Raider O, that was confusing and hard to understand, kind of like an Al Davis press conference.

someone will give him a chance i about a year or 2 maybe. Hope he saved all his chips… what an idiot…

DuhMarcus
Ruffles will have to go to the cfl or ufl

It looks like the release of JaMarcus will happen sooner or later (before week 1).
That being the case, JaMarcus and his agent may want to force the Raiders to make a decision on him right away. That would allow him to sign with another team and spend the off season getting familiar with the new offence.
I’m sure he could focus on football for a few months and convince another team he was worth the gamble.
Micheal Vick got a second chance after two years away from the game.

How the hell could I have guessed that. I am on a roll…

Thec, semi professional? Interesting term. If one NFL team over the course of the last 7 years could be considered semi professional, guess who it would be?

Jason Campbell was the best QB coming out of the 2005 draft.

Campbell was considered a minor reach by the Redskins at the end of Round 1 that year. In retrospect it’s clear Rodgers was by far the best and there was a lot of debate about whether Smith or Rodgers would go No. 1.

Why do you say Campbell was the best? And what does “why he was the third QB picked is another story” mean?

Until the release of Al Davis (perhaps from life support…): 5-11.

Ah well its kinda sad and predictable that Russell would fail. He had no oline help, a bunch of rookie wideouts and some of the worst playcalling this side of Detroit.

It’s not all black and white. There’s an awful lot of cause and effect involved. A QB can make an OL and the WRs look really good or really bad, and vice-versa. A medicore QB with tons of time will find open WRs and a Pro-Bowler behind a seive will get mauled. Rookie WRs can be made to look like world killers with a good QB (see Indy), while a bad QB can make great WRs look horrible with passes in the wrong place, wrong time, the wrong touch. When it comes to play calling, if the play is not executed as it is called, is the issue the call itself? As a corollary, if the playbook must be dumbed down so far to fit the limitations of the personnel and the defense can easily guess what’s coming, is that more of an issue with the play calling or the personnel itself?

One semi-scientific way to find the root cause of a problem is to change only one variable at a time and try the same experiments. The closest that we have to this is seeing how the team fared with someone not wearing #2 at QB. The results were pretty clear improvement. The fact is that a supposedly super talented franchise QB was outperformed but not one, but two journeyman QBs that couldn’t keep backup jobs on other teams. When either of those two were in the game, the facts are that the line played better (not awesome, but they gave up less sacks and the running game was improved), the WRs made more plays, and the play calling seemed goog enough to move the chains.

With lack of decent evidence it’s easy to conject that the situation was the root cause. But the evidence pretty clearly said otherwise. The only experiment left to prove otherwise is to see Russell on a different team and measure his success there. But that’s dependent on someone actually wanting to give him a shot. If he doesn’t get one, that’s pretty telling too, unless you propose to know more than 31 other sets of professional evaluators of talent at the NFL level.

How much you wanna bet when the raiders release jablubber, the patriots will be the team to give him a second chance.

I can’t think of any other QB I rather see in the opponents backfield. We’d only have to cover 1/2 the field and when putting pressure on the QB, being prepared for the recovery of the sure fumbles. Been there & done that when we were on his side of the ball – it’s simply not fun or the right place to be. He’s gotta be worth 7-14 points for every opponent he faces.

I am not really sure who is the best out of those 3, but Campbell has had to do the most, with the least…

Alex smith came from a spread offense.

Aaron Rodgers had a lot of question marks cuz of tedford’s past QB production in NFL.

On a side note, I saw a documentary on Kobiyashi, and I almost pi$$ed myself laughing at how much food the guy ate in training. It was insane.

The Chiefs are a possibility. I’m sure JaMarcus would love to be a chef for the revenge factor.
But having after Brady all those years, I can’t see Pioli wanting to sign JR.

*******************************************************
I agree with you that there was better production when the QBs changed…but look what happened they did get in there (injuries). In terms of development of a rookie/2nd year did not have the play calling that a Mark Sanchez benefited from in NY. A lot of runs limited passing out of the play-action to help get a rhythm. Instead there was 1st down bombs(Denver game).

We probably could have established the run with the talent that we had.

But in the end if he did not want to learn the playbook, be in-shape, and accept accountabilty…no one could have helped him.

Hey Guys i havent posted in a while but i read the blog everyday. I just heard on fox and espn radio that jawalrus was released!!!!!

Jacksonville may be the future home of JR.
It’s a small market team with not much media coverage to rip on him.
They have no long range plan at QB and could gamble on someone like JR.
Perhaps the best reason is that it’s close to Mobile. What better place for a Momma’s boy to play, than near his Momma.
